Free live music from 6:30pm-8:30pm:

• Sun Hop Fat: Piedmont Ave and Linda Ave
  For years Sun Hop Fat has been at the forefront of introducing the unique sounds of Ethiopian Jazz to the masses. The music blends the rhythms of traditional American funk (James Brown, Parliament) and jazz (Yusef Lateef, Miles Davis) with harmonies and melodies from East Africa. The result is an up-tempo groove machine that borrows harmonies from the Middle East. The music focuses primarily on arrangements from the “golden era” of Ethiopian Jazz but includes original compositions as well. This all-star band includes standout musicians from other popular San Francisco Bay Area groups.
• Clara Bellino featuring Jay Crawford: Piedmont Ave and 41st St. – pop jazz duo with a 60’s Euro twist
• Acme House of Music: 4444 Piedmont Ave.
